I had a pleasant stay at Lhp Hotel River & Spa, benefiting from its lovely location near the Arno River and the really good service from the staff. However, I found the room a bit cramped, and the noise from the hallways was disruptive at times. The breakfast was truly a delight, offering a wide variety of delicious options. Overall, while the hotel provided good service and a great atmosphere, some aspects did not quite meet the 5-star expectation. 🌟🍽️
